We have created this example to help user better understand the use of OLI inside of Aspen PLUS. Please refer to the flow sheet of the example we are about to see
Now to activate OLI in Aspen PLUS , please make sure you have the correct OLI engine installed for your designated version. You can Confirm this at Programs-> All Programs-> OLI systems->OLI Engine in Aspen Plus 8.6
Creating an OLI Model for Aspen Plus V8.6
Please click on the chemistry wizard to generate a bkp file containing the OLI chemistry model you want to use inside of Aspen.
Please note the Working Directory Path you set up for his file. That is going to be the location where the bkp file is stored.
Click Next.
You will get to a page headed "Databanks" and you can choose the Thermodynamic Framework. For the example, we will choose the MSE radio button. No other databank is selected.

Click Generate Files Now. The location is shown in the pop up message.
Importing the OLI model in Aspen Plus V8.6
Open Aspen Plus V8.6 and create new a blank simulation. Go to the simulation mode and create the flow-sheet shown in the introduction section of this article. It is a mixer and a separator.
Go back to Properties mode. Click on File-> Import and provide the same location you used to store you bkp file from the chemistry wizard model generation.
You should find your file test1 at that location. Load it. You might see the following message, Click OK.
